It
is
a
well-known
fact
that
Nivin
Pauly
is
one
of
the
ardent
fans
of
Cricket
God
Sachin
Tendulkar.
Well,
on
the
special
occasion
of
Sachin's
birthday,
the
actor
took
to
his
social
media
handle
to
wish
his
favourite
cricketer.
Sharing
a
picture
of
the
duo,
in
which
they
are
all
smiles
wearing
the
Kerala
Blaster's
team
jersey,
he
wrote,
"Happy
happy
birthday
to
the
legend
@sachin_rt.
Thank
you
for
inspiring
a
generation.
Wish
you
more
joy
and
success!
Forever
your
fan!"(sic)
Interestingly,
Nivin
had
played
the
role
of
an
ardent
Sachin
fan
in
the
Malayalam
movie
1983.
The
actor
has
received
several
awards
for
his
tremendous
portrayal
of
Rameshan
in
the
sports
drama.
Sachin,
who
was
in
Kerala
for
a
promotional
event,
had
expressed
his
desire
to
watch
the
movie
helmed
by
Abrid
Shine
in
Malayalam
itself,
provided
there
are
English
subtitles.
Apparently,
Nivin
had
gifted
the
cricketer
with
a
DVD
of
1983.
Also,
a
few
years
back,
during
an
event
of
the
Indian
Super
League,
Sachin
had
selected
the
actor
as
the
brand
ambassador
of
his
team,
Kerala
Blaster.
Nivin,
who
was
basking
in
the
success
of
Premam
during
that
time,
had
a
fanboy
moment
with
the
legendary
cricketer.
A
picture
of
him
along
with
Sachin,
Chiranjeevi,
Allu
Aravind,
and
Nagarjuna
wearing
the
team
jersey
and
a
kasav
mundu
(dhoti)
went
viral
after
the
event,
which
was
held
in
Kochi.
Talking
about
Nivin
Pauly's
project,
his
Thuramukham
is
scheduled
for
a
release
as
soon
as
the
lockdown
gets
over.
Lately,
he
was
shooting
for
Padavettu,
which
is
currently
halted
due
to
the
Coronavirus
crisis.
Directed
by
debutant
Liju
Krishna,
the
movie
will
have
Nivin
in
a
challenging
role.
Recently,
a
picture
of
the
actor
went
viral,
in
which
he
was
seen
in
a
bulked-up
avatar
with
a
potbelly.
Asiria
Balan
and
Manju
Warrier
are
also
essaying
pivotal
roles
in
the
movie,
produced
by
actor
Sunny
Wayne.
